"Big Lebowski" fans -- most commonly referred to as "Achievers" -- are everywhere. Unlike Trekkies, they easily blend into the normal populace. We asked one of the Lebowski Fest's "founding Dudes," Will Russell, to divulge the best ways to spot an Achiever:
1 Wears an ACHIEVER T-shirt.
2 Constantly uses the word "man" or "dude."
3 Drives a rust-covered car while listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival, not the Eagles. (Achievers hate the Eagles.)
4 Is unconcerned with fashion, opting for Jellies sandals, big brown sweaters, even a bathrobe to the grocery store.
5 Drinks White Russians, otherwise known as "Caucasians."
